Troop 31 Eagle Scouts
Since the beginning of time, the Eagle has been a symbol of royalty, power, victory, authority, and valor.
In Boy Scouting, the Eagle Scout rank is the highest achievement. Since 1913, Troop 31 has produced over 183 Eagle Scouts - young men who have demonstrated leadership, service, and dedication to the ideals of Scouting.

- Earn 21 merit badges, including 13 required badges
- Serve in a position of responsibility for 6 months
